Now that Hamilton has a national tour and has opened in theaters across the country, the cultural musical phenomenon has made some room on Broadway for another show to become the one that everyone's scrambling to see. Dear Evan Hansen, starring Ben Platt of Pitch Perfect, took home six Tony Awards on Sunday night, including Best Actor in a Musical and Best New Musical.Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, who won Oscars as lyricists for La La Land, took home Tonys for Best Original Score for Dear Evan Hansen, while music supervisor Alex Lacamoire won the Tony for Best Orchestrations for the second year in a row. In 2016, he won the same award for Hamilton.The show opened to critical acclaim back in November 2016, and chronicles a lonely, awkward high school student, Evan Hansen (Platt) caught up in a lie that goes viral after a fellow loner, Connor Murphy (Mike Faist) commits suicide early in the school year. Through an accidental encounter between the two right before Connor's death, the Murphy family is led to believe that Evan was one of their son's best friends, when in reality Connor and Evan barely knew each other.Though Evan attempts to tell them the truth — that the letter addressed to Evan they found on Connor's body was written by Evan to Evan at the suggestion of his therapist — he's quickly muffled by the comfort the Murphy family finds in his presence. And Evan, once he's adopted the "Connor was my best friend" lie as his own truth, finds equal comfort in the Murphys — especially their daughter, Zoe. The lie spirals out of control, once news of Connor and Evan's fake friendship makes its way around the school, and culminates in an assembly honoring Connor's memory, called The Connor Project. Evan gives a speech that goes viral on social media, making him the face and voice of The Connor Project. The project's rallying cry, "You Will Be Found" closes the show's first act in an incredible display of how social media can spread a story like wildfire, whether or not it's grounded in reality.Everyone from fans to fellow Broadway stars and critics have hailed Dear Evan Hansen for giving teen issues like suicide, anxiety and bullying a voice. The hashtag from the show, #YouWillBeFound has taken on a life of its own on social media, and has given an outlet for young people who might be feeling lost, like Evan and Connor, to find a community where they can be themselves and share their feelings without fear of being judged.Similarly, Ben Platt's painful and raw depiction of teenage loneliness in today's world has been praised by every and anyone, even critics, like Richard Lawson of Vanity Fair, who found Platt to be the one redeeming part of a "shallow" and "cynical" show. In his acceptance speech last night, Platt summed up the importance of the musical, his role and the larger conversation Dear Evan Hansen has created around mental health in a very quotable few words: "Don't waste any time trying to be like anybody but yourself, because the things that make you strange are the things that make you powerful."Watch his full speech, below:
